I have created this booklist to include both non-fiction and picture books for elementary school students. Often, picture books are discouraged for children who are past pre-school. This booklist demonstrates that picture books are an effective tool for children of every age, and especially when teaching historical material.

The Wishing Tree in our library has already been placed in the Children's area. Come make a wish and join our Lunar New Year program on Feb. 2nd @ 4:00 pm.

We hope to see all of our friends at the program, but if you can not make it I have included several books that you could read together as a family. You may also write your wish in the comment space of this blog.
